Five Talents

From talents to strengths

Recent studies from the Positive Psychology show that one of the most important factors in making you feel good about yourself is making use of the qualities you have. What do we actually know about our inborn talents and qualities? In our Western society there was so far not much interest in answering this question.

According to the original work of the Strengths Movement in the US, a talent is “a stable way of thinking, doing or feeling which gives positive results”, more inborn than developed. It concerns our brain which made connections in our childhood which we used to adapt to the world around us.

We have talents which distinguish us from others. With our approach you will firstly identify these talents and actually make them your own. Also you will find support in a great internal richness within yourself to further develop these talents into real strengths.
